Product Description

The MT 15 produces massive tone in a low wattage amp. Whether recording, practicing, writing, or playing a small room, this amp has everything you need. The MT 15 is a commanding two channel amp with balanced aggression and articulation. Powered by 6L6 tubes, the MT 15 has a large, bold sound, so you can dig in heavy with rhythms but also get singing lead tones out of one amp.

The MT 15’s design started with heavier players in mind, but in the end, it has a lot to offer players of all genres. Like the PRS Archon amplifier, the MT 15 features five gain stages before the Master for full, lush distortion. The gain channel gets big, chunky tone with massive, tight low end, but it never loses its articulate note definition or great lead tone. The clean channel is bright and chimey, good with chords and fingerstyle playing – whether with a pic or not. The clean channel also features a push/pull boost control that adds a little overdrive for old school crunch. No matter what tone you dial in, the MT 15 stays balanced across the spectrum with a sweet, smooth tone that won’t bite your head off.

Additional features include an effects loop and bias adjusters that are accessible from the back panel for ease of servicing. Despite its 15 watts, the MT 15 sounds more like 50, so a half power switch that takes the MT to 7 watts is a welcome edition. Bottom line, the amount of features, the hugeness of the sound, and the raw horsepower of the circuit make the MT 15 an impressive lunchbox hero.

This is the best lunchbox amp I have played. This sounds like a full size head but in a smaller, quieter package. The cleans are great (Think Fender) and the Distortion channel is like a cross between Marshall and Mesa with harmonic complexity for days. I cannot recommend this amp enough! Excellent buy!

I love this amp! It’s got that American sound for a quarter of the American sound price!

What is your opinion of this product?

I love this amp! There’s no way it’s 15 watts! It sounds like it’s 50 when I say it’s loud I mean it’s loud! It definitely puts other lunch box amps to shame, it’s versatile, it’s heavy duty, and best of all, it’s EXTREMELY affordable. I definitely recommend anyone this amp, even if you’re not a prs or Tremonti fan.

Well worth the money and wait!

What is your opinion of this product?

Very nice amp, great cleans, takes pedals very well. Channel 2 sounds great even at 1/2 power. Overall a little loud but otherwise perfect amp for my needs. Would have given 5stars if had the effects loop was switchable on/off.

Awesome Treasure

What is your opinion of this product?

My first lunch box style amp plenty loud. I personally at this point am favoring the clean channel and the best part is you can choose the payment plan that works for you. Thanks to AMS for allowing us to acquire the gear we want. Rock On AMS your the best.

Great, loud amp in a compact package

What is your opinion of this product?

This is a great two channel amp, perfect for modern high gain or classic rock, the clean channel is a great pedal platform if you're in to that. Construction seems very solid, and the amp looks and sounds great. Liked the amp so much, I picked up the matching cab, which also sounds great, and makes for a compact, yet powerful rig. This amp is plenty loud for rehearsals or gigging with a loud drumming rock band. Great job Tremonti/PRS!!

Awesome Amp!!

What is your opinion of this product?

I'm calling shenanigans on the 15 watts. This thing is LOUD! Such a great clean channel. The overdrive is really useable.
I really wish the pull boost was foot switchable. But, at this price point I can understand why not. I'm having a little trouble getting the channels to change using the HELIX. Probably user error.
Best bang for the buck amp out there right now.

Very happy with this amp!

What is your opinion of this product?

It's no surprise that this is a high gain amp, and it delivers in that regard. I especially appreciate the tight bass and articulation when playing chords. The clean channel is surprisingly good, too, and I've enjoyed its chime. The only knock is minor: Given that the power switch needs to be toggled to the "on" position to work, one would think that the standby switch would operate the same way. That's not the case with my unit; the amp is not in standby when toggled to "on." It has standby, though, I just need to keep the switch in the downward position. Maybe they reversed the wiring accidentally? Nonetheless, I've been able to work around it, but it certainly caught me off guard the first time I booted up the amp. All in all, the amp is awesome if you want some pretty impressive gain stages!
